Guide Review - HyperSnap-DX from Hyperionics
HyperSnap-DX offers 10 capture modes, including some nifty ones such as multiple regions for capturing cascading menus, virtual desktop for capturing desktops across multiple monitors; and active window without frame for omitting the title bar and window frame. I especially liked the tabbed multi-document interface for collecting and editing captured images. It may lack a few things the competition offers, but it adds some unique features of its own. HyperSnap-DX is definitely a worthy contender in the screen capture power tool category.
